For An Intimate Exchange of Vows

Same Day Marriage

You’ve decided that it is time to get married and you are considering Winchester VA. Our ceremony room is the great outdoors and we can meet at a place you’ve chosen for your vows. (See the list below)

You want to exchange vows without all the hoopla and expense of a big wedding. Maybe this is your second marriage, maybe you want just a small private ceremony , or maybe you just want to get married now and have a big event later. Whatever your reason, the Winchester Wedding Chapel is a great place to “run away” to and get married.

Where do the ceremonies take place?

They can place at:

The tree in front of the courthouse ($50)

On the walk way in front of the courthouse ($50)

Your home ($75-150)

Wilkins Lake (the duck pond) at the University ($50)

My Hebron Chapel (they ask for a donation to use their chapel..$50 is appropriate) ($50)

Or other location of your choice

Convenient

Winchester is an easy location for many who are coming from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland or Northern Virginia. And getting the marriage license is as easy as pie. It takes only 20 minutes to get the license, 20 minutes to get married at the chapel, and 20 minutes to go back to the courthouse and get your certified copies if you choose to do it all in the same day.

Easy on the Pocket

And the fees are very low. The courthouse fee for the license is $35. The customary fee for us to do the ceremony is typically a $50 (See fees above)

What Next?

You will want to check the schedule to see if your selected date and time is available. The ministers are a team of military veterans who love to help make your day special. We are usually on call most any time of day or evening. Weekend hours may be available, but the fees are considerably different and Rev. Lance has church responsibilities on weekends that must be scheduled around.

Simple Steps to Marriage

1. Get a license from the courthouse. It takes just 10-30 minutes, depending on how busy they are. That cost $35. There is no waiting period. You just need an ID like a driver's license. If you were married before, no proof of divorce is required.

2. Locate a wedding officiant, like us, that will conduct the ceremony and sign the paperwork. It does not have to be fancy, come as you are. That is $50-$150 depending on where and when.

3. If you get the license from the Frederick County Courthouse (both Winchester and Frederick County clerks are on the same hall in the same building) then they will allow us to give the license back to you. Otherwise we mail it in.

4. Take the signed license back to the courthouse and get your certified copies.

5. Live happily ever after. That happens when you both let the small stuff go, live each day as if it were your last, and remember that Love can last forever when there is absolute honesty.
